CLING TO CHARM OF YOUTH

Good Complexion Cannot Be Retained if Covered With Layers of Rouge and Swathes of Powder. Every young girl, no matter who she may be, has the charm of youth and should hold it. It is as elusive as a dream and cannot last for many years, so while it is hers she should cherish it. It is the look of youth. But no girl can hold it, no matter how clever, who covers it up with layers of rouge and swathes of powder, declares a beauty specialist. A touch of rouge when one is tired and the face is colorless, especially In the evening, is not unpardonable, but the girl who has a good complexion, the gift of nature, should never resort to rouge or powder, except for the light rice powder that keeps the face from the shiny look, which is such a detractor of beauty. It seems almost unbelievable that any girl with a really good complexion would resort to paint or powder, and yet it is true that many do. It may be that these girls have an idea that these aids to complexion give to them the appearance of sophistication. And they are right, in a measure. For rouge invariably does give the lines of the face an older look, a hardening of the countenance, if too rashly used.
